What should I wear?

At ERBC, you'll find people dressed in blue jeans, tailored suits, and everything in between!  Whatever is most comfortable for you is fine with us.  You may find that those who worship at our Classic Service are a little more formal in their attire, while those who worship at one of our Contemporary Services are a bit more casual.  But we're not really as interested in what you wear as we are in you --so, please, just come as yourself.

What will the music be like?

It depends.  Not everyone has the same taste in music, so we offer 2 different venues for you to choose from: 

If you appreciate traditional Christian choruses and hymns, accompanied by piano, organ and other classical instruments, you'll enjoy our Classic Service.

On the otherhand, if you enjoy a more contemporary, upbeat, expressive form of music, you should check out one of our Contemporary Services.

The message is essentially the same at all of our services.  We simply vary the music style to allow different kinds of people to worship God in the way that best suits them. 

What about the rest of the worship service?

Our worship services feature practical messages of hope that are designed to impact your life in a real way.  When you arrive for worship, we'll provide you with a helpful outline with the bible passages, so you can follow along and make notes.  Many times our worship services feature something we call "tag team preaching" --click here to find out more.  Our goal is to provide you with a message of encouragement that makes a powerful, positive and practical impact on your daily life.

On the first weekend of the month, our church worships God through a special activity called Communion.  Communion is a symbolic reminder of Jesus and his sacrifice for humankind on the cross.  It is something that Jesus asked his followers to do together regularly, so that they would not forget the incredible lengths to which God went to be able to have a personal relationship with us.  If you are a believer in Jesus, we welcome you to join us in worshiping through Communion.  If you are still examining the claims of Jesus and haven't yet taken the step of beginning a personal relationship with Him, we ask you not to participate, but to use the time to reflect on what you are learning in your journey of faith. 

Will an offering be taken?

The short answer is: yes.  Do we want you to give?  No.  Here's why: Giving from our income is another important way for those who call ERBC their "church home" to worship God.  These gifts are then used to support the ministries and missions of our church. 

Since you are a guest of our church, we don't don't want you to give anything.  Instead, we want you to receive something --something encouraging and life-changing-- from your visit to ERBC.
